You may have figured that I’m not fond on attending the awards I get. Make no doubt though, I dearly appreciated each one of it. With that, my heartiest gratitude to those who awarded me. I will get to all accolades in time.
I do like two awards – this 5 colors thingy and the 7 super shots of some-sort. I also liked the 7×7 I responded to during my #100 post.
I am deeply and humbly feel so honored from being mentioned by two outstanding WP bloggers. So flattering that I actually dread to answer the award. I really did feel so overwhelmed. I look at their entries and I am floored and amazed by their images.
5 colors of the second time around
Bagni di Lucca – Colour My World
Once again, Thank You!
Here’s mine:
_
Arboretum – Los Angeles, California
GREEN
The post I had of Arboretum for my visit to one of my stops along Route 66 focused on the flowers and no other features. I’m glad I was able to save this picture. The tree branch, the reflection and the blue sky, I got so arrested with the view in front of me and the image appearing on my camera monitor.

Oxnard – Ventura, California
RED:
So happy that the perfect picture I find for the color red happens to be from right exactly where I currently residing. Oxnard in Ventura County holds the annual Strawberry Festival in California. It was a day of lavish red enticements.

Memphis, Tennessee
YELLOW
Yes, I know I’ve been posting mostly of my California exploration. I did been to other states as well- Florida, Nevada, Texas, Illinoise, Mississippi, Louisiana, to name a few. Someday, I will create a Flashback Friday entry for my visit to Memphis, Tennessee. I was there to watch a concert, not fully knowing there’s totally a whole lotsa music to its Downtown area.

Getty Museum – Los Angeles, California
WHITE
This is from my most recent entry of The Getty Center. This is Apollo Crowning Himself, work of Antonio Canova. Apollo’s idealized body and balanced pose recalls ancient representations of nude male figures.
_
Virgin Island – Bohol, Philippines
BLUE
This is a personal choice as my most favorite shot. Hence, I’m using it as my header. This picture proves that even though it doesn’t show on numbers and statistics compared to other countries, Philippines have a lot to boast about when it comes to tourism esp. of water, nature and summer fun.

Now, I have to pay it forward to limited (boo!) 5 other bloggers.

Yep. Just fell in love with the Phillipines. Oh my. Beautiful! Thanks for the link love too. I’ve been holed up editing a wedding I shot. Loved the shoot, but editing is a beast.
Terrific photos!!! Cheers Nonoy Manga
I will look forward, so desiringly, for your respond to this.
Beautiful photos! I love that first one, but the one from the Strawberry Fest brings back fond childhood memories. I used to attend that festival every year and haven’t been since I was a kid.
Sure unmissable if you’re nearby Ventura. I’m sure I will miss going after I my time here elapsed.
These are really gorgeous shots.The Arboretum one is breathtaking, and the strawberry pic made my mouth water.
Thank You. Your Italian trips are making me long to go back there.
Great blogs you have directed us to but I love your photos, especially the Bohol beach.
I love your photos. I absolutely adore the ‘ blue’ photo. I don’t do awards, even though it is wonderful to be nominated for them, but I liked the Colour my World one, because it kind of fits in with my blog, and I didn’t have to answer any questions about myself.
Ahihihihi … I actually do like that one… I like to share personal information once in a blue moon.
I like BLUE. =>
All your photos are stunning Rommel but your header shot in the Philippines is over the top! Definitely photography magazine worthy!
That comment is over the top, I take that compliment in whole. I love that photo myself.
Hope you know how deep your talents run, both as an artist and a person. Have a beautiful day!
Ahihih … Someone just asked me for advice on what camera to buy. I feel so flattered.
Blue is amazing!! And Antonio Canova’s work is beautiful no?
Thanks for the award. It’s a good award to respond to. I did get so intimidated with your pictures, it ended up being fun browsing through my picture archives.
Ha !! Mr…I don’t think my photos are good enough…
I love these. Love the Memphis tram and that strawberry…oh and Apollo…perfect
Na-ah! I beg to differ. Yours is more creative. Love your white.
I love that you love my white one !!! But I love yours too.
Gorgeous work, Rommel.
Thanks as always.
Great Photos:)
Looking forward for your respond to the award.
Thank you for sending A Day in Paradise to me.
Your blog is worth spreading around.
Your photos are gorgeous. And the one of Bohol is just breathtaking!
You know I love that header photo of yours. I hope it wins the competition. It makes me want to dive into that water.
I didn’t enter these pictures. All for blogging.
It’s been said many times already, but the photo you use for your header just blows me away.
Good Luck Rommel….these are AWESOME!!!!
Oh no! I didn’t enter these pictures.
I don’t want anybody to lose. Bwahahaha! Joke. 
Reblogged this on Timothy Richardson Pad.
Congratulations Bro. I enjoyed each photo but my favorite is the last…blue, beautiful, breathtaking. Just a few reasons why I can’t forget the islands of many surprises and wonderful dreams….
